## Pinterest image sizes at a glance
The standard Pinterest Pin size is 1000×1500 pixels, a 2:3 vertical image. Square Pins (1000×1000) and long Pins (1000×2100) also work, and video Pins look best at 1080×1920. Upload profile photos at 280×280 or larger and profile covers at 1600×900. Values are at the time of writing and can change.

| Preset | Size | Ratio | Best for |
|---|---|---|---|
| Standard Pin | 1000×1500 | 2:3 | Most Pins: recipes, products, blog posts |
| Square Pin | 1000×1000 | 1:1 | Product shots, quotes, reused Instagram posts |
| Long Pin | 1000×2100 | 1:2.1 | Infographics, checklists, step-by-step guides |
| Video / Idea Pin | 1080×1920 | 9:16 | Vertical video and full-screen covers |
| Profile photo | 280×280 | 1:1 | Your account picture, shown as a circle |
| Profile cover | 1600×900 | 16:9 | The banner at the top of your profile |

### Why 2:3 is the default
Pinterest's grid is made of columns of the same width, so taller images take up more space. A 2:3 Pin is tall enough to stand out and short enough to show in full. It's the shape Pinterest recommends for most Pins, and the safe choice if you aren't sure.

### Long Pins may be cut off
Pins taller than 2:3 are allowed, but Pinterest can trim very tall ones in the feed and only show the full image when someone opens the Pin. At the time of writing, 1:2.1 (1000×2100) is the tallest shape that is commonly shown without trimming. Put the headline at the top so it's visible either way.

### Profile photos display small
Your profile photo shows as a small circle next to every Pin you save and every board you share. A 280×280 upload gives Pinterest a sharp source to scale down from. Keep your face or logo in the middle so the circle doesn't clip it.

## How to resize an image for Pinterest
### 1. Upload the image
Choose a PNG or JPG from your phone or computer. Nothing is uploaded to a server; the resizing happens in your browser.

### 2. Pick the preset
Select Standard Pin, Square Pin, Long Pin, Video / Idea Pin, Profile photo or Profile cover. The preview updates to the new shape.

### 3. Choose fill or fit
**Fill (crop)** covers the frame edge to edge and trims what doesn't fit, which suits most photos. **Fit (add background)** keeps the whole image and adds a background in a color you pick. Fit is handy for turning a landscape photo into a 2:3 Pin, leaving space above and below for a headline you add in your image editor.

### 4. Download and pin
Save as JPG for photos or PNG for graphics with text. Then upload it to Pinterest, or to your scheduler.

## Tips for Pinterest images that get saved
### Make text readable on a phone
Most pinning happens on phones, where a Pin is only a few centimeters wide in the grid. Use a short headline in a large, plain font with strong contrast against the background. If you can't read it at arm's length, make it bigger.

### Stick to 2:3 unless you have a reason
Square Pins look small next to tall ones, and long Pins risk being trimmed. Save those shapes for content that needs them, like a product shot or a step-by-step infographic.

### Lead with the subject
People scroll the grid quickly. Put the dish, product or finished project front and center and crop out empty space.

### Use one style across your Pins
A consistent font, color and layout helps people recognize your Pins before they see your name. If you want a matching profile icon, the [Pinterest logo generator](https://scheduleforyou.com/tools/pinterest-logo-generator) makes a simple letter or emoji icon.

## Use cases
### Turning blog photos into Pins
Resize a landscape blog photo to 1000×1500 with fit, add your headline in the empty space with your image editor, and you have a Pin that links back to the post.

### Reusing Instagram posts on Pinterest
Square Instagram posts work as-is on Pinterest, but a 2:3 version takes up more room in the grid. Re-crop your best posts to 1000×1500 with fill. The [Instagram photo resizer](https://scheduleforyou.com/tools/instagram-photo-resizer) handles the other direction.

### Building a step-by-step infographic
Use the Long Pin preset for checklists and how-to guides. Keep the most important step near the top in case the feed trims the bottom.

### Updating your profile
Crop a headshot or logo to 280×280 for your profile photo, and a wide photo to 1600×900 for your profile cover.

## Frequently asked questions
### What size is a Pinterest pin?
The standard Pin is 1000×1500 pixels, a 2:3 vertical image. Pinterest also accepts square and taller Pins, but 2:3 is the shape it recommends for most Pins.

### What is the best Pinterest pic size?
For most Pins, 1000×1500 (2:3). It takes up more space in the grid than a square and avoids the trimming that very long Pins can get.

### What size is a Pinterest profile picture?
Upload a square image of at least 280×280. Pinterest shows it as a small circle, so keep the subject centered.

### What size should a Pinterest video be?
Vertical 9:16 at 1080×1920 fills the screen on phones. Square (1:1) and 2:3 also work. This tool resizes still images, so use it for a video's cover image rather than the video itself.

### Should I export as PNG or JPG for Pinterest?
JPG is fine for photos and keeps file sizes small. PNG is better for Pins with text, logos or flat colors.

### Are my images stored anywhere?
No. The resizer runs in your browser, so your images stay on your device.
